Tazio Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 OK I've put a bit of though into this now. Good Times Bad Time by Led Zeppelin. Page did more complex but this is a great explosion of sound. Paranoid Android by Radiohead. Both of the breaks are superb. Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones. A song so good the Stone Roses almost recreated it with I Am The Resurrection. Also all the great guitarists like Johnny Marr and Ry Cooder who don't do solos as such but add so much to a song all the way through without needing a few bars of pyrotechnics in the middle.

allanio Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hendrix - Voodoo Child (Slight Return) - basically the whole song is one long solo. Red Hot Chili Peppers (John Frusciante) - Lyon 6.06.06 (a b-side - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TzkMUeXLdeE ) Derek Trucks - Joyful Noise (in fact, anything he does is fantastic) Anything by Joe Pass Red Hot Chili Peppers (John Frusciante) - Throw Away Your Television (Live at Hyde Park) Stevie Ray Vaughan - Scuttle Buttin' (it's basically a twelve-bar blues in warp-speed) That's just a couple off the top of my head.

There are a shed load of Zeppelin ones, but for me the one that stands out is "Since I'v Been Loving You" Some of the live stuff done by Hendrix is way out there. Always thought Hendrix was more suited to playing live than in the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackJAC? Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Live Forever - Noel Gallagher Solo.Immense That's a pretty much laughable example when compared to the likes of Mark Knopfler and Clapton as most of their material pretty much blows that pish out of the water without much effort at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XVVZPefbR4 An honourable mention to Muse - Invincible.

heartgarfunkel Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Some fabulous stuff I hadn't heard before, cheers all! David Gilmour takes some beating though. I love Jimmy Page's guitar on 'Tangerine', and the euphoric solo on 'Ramble On'; I'm also a Bunnymen nut and have many favourite Will Sergeant bits of guitar magic to delight in.

I P Knightley Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Gary Moore Still got the blues for you. Bernie Marsden any blues track he plays on NAE MARE I COULD BE HEAR AWE NIGHT ! Two good shouts there. A mate of mine was due to do a gig with Bernie Marsden the other week but had to pull out with a tooth abcess. He was well peed off as he reckons that BM is one of the finest blues guitarists he's come across. Is this allowed http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nooeMrCws-A On the basis that it's just about the greatest guitar solo ever, I'd say it should be. Perhaps particularly great because of it's setting - I mean, all that schmaltz makes it stand out more than if it had been in an otherwise decent song.

leginten Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hendrix on Hendrix In The West. He plays Lover Man, then right at the end just tosses off this incredible piece of guitar playing. Not really part of the song at all and only about twenty seconds long, but one of my favourite "solos" of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
